During 1998-99, Command Systems posted a turnover of $45 million of which $4 million was contributed by its Indian arm. The company's e-commerce business alone contributed around 30 per cent to its global revenue, he added.

Kumar said there was a slowdown among small companies due to Y2K fear and such companies would take some time to get back on track. "We do not expect much growth during the current fiscal, however, we are confident of recording a considerable growth during the next fiscal. The consolidation exercise is expected to help us achieve the targeted growth."

Kumar said the company would expand its Indianoperations by recruiting more hands. CIS has a strength of 120 and by 2001 it would touch 240.

On overseas operations, he said the company plans to broadbase its business in Singapore and Australia. At present, the countries are being looked after by India and in the future Command Systems might open its own subsidiaries in these areas. However, he added that no definite plans were ready.

Recently, Command Systems acquired a small Oracle company, Nova Consulting, in the US. "In India, too, we are open to such moves, if we happen to locate a right firm who can compliment our business," Kumar said.

He said the company has targeted to get the SEM certification and was working on gap analysis. CIS already has ISO 9000 certification.Command Systems is an information systems services company specialising in consulting, Y2K conversions, education & training, systems integration and software/hardware products for insurance, brokerage and financial services.
